A male intergrade northern flicker: though he looks quite red-shafted here, he also had red markings on the back of his head. Northern flickers are an unassuming bird at rest as they hide their most spectacular feather pattern and color on the underside of their wings. This is a protected species during nesting season, so these birds are not to be disturbed during this time, regardless of where they choose to make their nests (including a local man’s attic as was the case a couple years back 😅).
